Santa Who? Reviews
Amusing Twist On Santa's Story With A Perfectly Cast Leslie Nielsen
For those who like myself just adore Leslie Nielsen's wacky roles in "The Naked Gun" series of films, this delightful little Christmas television movie is essential viewing. A story about Santa losing his memory of just who he is just prior to the main part of the Christmas season possibly doesn't promise much however in the most capable hands of Leslie Nielsen, and with excellent support from the underrated Steve Eckholdt as cynical newsman Peter Albright, the opposite is definately the case. What we get in "Santa Who?", is a delightfully funny and at times very touching account of not just one but actually two men's search to try and find out just who they actually are. Both men's search for an identity resulting from very different circumstances; ie Santa as a result of an accident while out driving his sleigh, and Peter, due to a lifetime devoid of love and caring from anyone, becomes a mutually enriching journey for them creating a touching bond between the two men who normally are as different as night and day but who through the chain of events that unfold become better people for the experience.
WONDERFUL kids movie 4 the holidays
I was hesitant about this movie at first. It sounded cute, but Leslie Neilsen makes me think of slapstick comedy.... movies like 'Airplane' which I hate!
But, based on the the storie line we read on themovie box, my 10 y/o son & I decided to give this movie a try & rented it. Surprisingly enough, we watched this movie and really enjoyed the movie. There were NONE of the typical Leslie Nielsen antics one might expect. It wasn't some overly-silly garbage.
A previous reviewer mentions being able to tell that it was a made-for-tv movie because it fades to black when they'd typically go to commercial, then comes back. Those are very brief times, but perfect for pausing for bathroom or snack breaks.
Both my son and I found this to be a fun, uplifting, "feel-good" type of Christmas movie. AND it keeps the magic of Santa alive! I definitely plan to buy this to add to our Christmas collection which already includes titles such as (but not limited to):
"The Santa Claus" & "Santa Claus 2" w/ Tim Allen, "Call Me Claus" w/ Whoopi Goldberg; "Jingle All The Way" w/ Arnold Schwarzenegger; the classics: "Miracle on 34th Street" & "It's a Wonderful Life"; the remake of "Miracle on 34th Street" and the newer & classic animated movies "Annabelle's Wish", "The Year Without a Santa Claus", "Frosty", "Rudolph" & "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" as well as many others.
"Santa Who" will definitely find a place in our collection as we love to watch movies that really bring out the feelings of Christmas.....at any time of year :o)
